The lake stays cold in July and athletes often reach transition with early hypothermia, clumsy hands and poor balance. Falls, sprains and cuts follow easily, and medical costs are covered up to €150,000, including emergency treatment, hospital admission and surgery.
Yorkshire lanes run between dry stone walls and carry loose gravel washed out by rain. If a crash leaves you stranded far from a hospital, assistance and repatriation work at actual cost, from the evacuation to the journey back home.
A qualifying slot or a personal best is built across several races, in England and elsewhere. The Competition option covers racing in official competition on this event and right through the season, from spring half distances to late-summer triathlons.
On a wet descent lined with stone, a crash can leave damage that never fully heals. The permanent disability capital can reach €200,000 depending on the assessed rate, so you can adapt your home, your vehicle or your working life.
Yorkshire weather changes within the hour, and warm rain is enough to make descents slick and braking unreliable. The lake, meanwhile, catches out anyone who has not trained in cold water. Many then begin the marathon with their fuelling plan in ruins, which brings stumbles, dizziness and worse as the hours pass.
Across the rest of the year the kilometres happen on open roads, in the pool and on trails, with no marshals and no medical post. Year-round triathlon insurance covers that training and travels with you to your other races, in your own country or at a start line abroad.
The English long distance runs in July and brings together around 2,000 starters over the full format. It links a lake swim, a rolling bike leg through the Yorkshire hills and a marathon that carries athletes into the centre of Leeds.
You send hundreds of participants swimming, riding and running on the same day. We insure all of them under one policy, with medical assistance you can reach day and night while the race is running. Repatriation is included. We can also partner or sponsor your event, anywhere in the world.
Yes. Contact in the mass start falls within the cover. Bodily injury during the swim leg is insured, including an injury sustained while climbing out of the water towards transition.
The policy covers treatment following the crash, from emergency transport through to surgery where it is needed. Assistance then arranges the evacuation and your journey home, at actual cost.
No. This is individual accident insurance, not cancellation insurance. Your entry and travel costs stay with you. The care required for the injury itself, however, is fully covered.
Yes. Cover applies abroad whatever your country of residence, during the race itself and during the recce rides and swims you do locally in the days beforehand.
The price depends on the plan and the length of cover you choose. The online quote shows your figure within a couple of minutes, with no commitment, and the purchase follows straight after.
